bjesian - thanks for sharing you're speaker progression. It's very encouraging obviously and makes me all the more antsy to have these baby's show up at the door. Not sure on delivery yet but it should be sometime next week.
Despite all the money and nice gear I've gone through in the past I don't consider myself an audiophile. I don't care about hearing peoples toupees move while they're playing the trumpet or even all that much about perfect sound staging etc.
As a former musician I just look for instruments to sound the way they sound. In this ridiculous industry that alone is seriously compromised until you've shelled out big dollars - and I know it doesn't have to be that way.
All this is to say that if the Parcifal O's sound half as good as they're supposed to - it should be the end of the line for me. Even the Cary speakers had me contented. Now if we can just do something about the power surges around here...
BTW why do you recommend towels instead of spikes?
